If you use a cable box:

You must select channels using the cable box.

The cable box unscrambles premium cable channels. To watch or record premium channels, you must already subscribe to them from your cable company.

Important: Some states have laws restricting direct connections to cable wires (connections that do not go through a cable box). Check the laws in your area before you make connec- tions.

Important Reminder to the CATV System In-

staller: You must comply with Section 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particu- lar, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the building’s grounding system, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
